Remote control for vehicle interface

An automotive vehicle comprising:

• a remote control;
• and
• a display, the remote control comprising:
• a 3-D shaped object,
• a plurality of stretch sensors connecting the 3-D shaped object to a structure of the vehicle, and
• a control unit configured to collect information from the stretch sensors, wherein:
• the remote control is configured to control the display,
• the remote control is integrated in a stretchable fabric part of an interior of the vehicle, and
• the stretch sensors are radially disposed around the 3-D shaped object and are spaced from each other in a circumferential direction.

A method of remote control of a display of an automotive vehicle, the remote control comprising a 3-D shaped object, a plurality of stretch sensors connecting the 3-D shaped object to a structure of the automotive vehicle and a control unit configured to collect information from the stretch sensor, the remote control being integrated in a stretchable fabric part of an interior of the vehicle, and the stretch sensors being radially disposed around the 3-D shaped object and spaced from each other in a circumferential direction, the method comprising:

• grasping the 3-D shaped object;
• deforming the stretch sensors by interacting with the 3-D shaped object;
• collecting information on deformation of the stretch sensors by the control unit;
• sending collected information by the control unit to a vehicle system controlling the display.
